Story
Walter in Oliver Springs, EAST Tennessee Meet Walter! He is available for adoption and is currently being fostered in East Tennessee. Walter is a 9 month old Aussie who is full of love and energy! He is neutered, potty trained, fully vaccinated and current on preventatives. He loves to snuggle with you and get pets but also always ready to play and run. He gets along with other dogs and absolutely loves his 2 foster siblings. However, Walter can be PICKY with who he chooses to befriend. Walter will require a meet n' greet with any current dogs in the applicants home or dogs that he will spend a lot of time with. Walter is also cat friendly but being a puppy does still get excited when they make noise or run. Walter is also WONDERFUL with aussie savvy kiddos! He is looking for a home with a family that will give him lots of love, lots of exercise. He does know a few commands but is still in the puppy stage so will also need more training. If you feel Walter is a fit for your family please fill out the application so we can connect you with his foster mom & dad. *Walter will require a meet n' greet. Closer to home is ideal. Here is the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.

Story
Look no further. Patches is a 9 month old Aussie Mix. We have had him since he was 8 weeks old. He was born in May 2024. We adopted him from a foster. He has been through the pet smart puppy training, neutered and micro chipped. Up to date on all shots. He is crate trained and sleeps comfortably in his home at night. Also does great in crate when family is at work and school. Our employment has changed and he is in his crate from 7am-3pm. Does fine, but would love to see him in a home where this isn’t a necessity. He is partly house trained and gets along well with our senior pit bull. We are rehoming him because he is not a good fit for a family with small children. He is true to his herding nature and has anxiety in an environment with small, loud children running around. Patches would love an owner that takes him on walks and can continue to play with him in a fenced backyard.

Story
Rush is about 2 years old. He is very loveable. We need to rehome him because we recently moved and he he is not acclimating well to the new living environment. We have many more neighbors than we used to and he is just so curious and excited about all the activity that he will not respect our property boundary. As such, it is impossible to get him the exercise he needs. We have tried everything and have come to realize that Rush simply needs a different environment than we can provide right now. He has demonstrated a high capacity for training but he is beyond our abilities, especially in our new circumstance and would be a wonderful companion for the right owner and family.

Story
My husband and I are needing to rehome our sweet Milo. He has a gentle and loving personality with cats or by himself. He is a great dog to go on long runs or hikes with and he will stay right by your side. However, he is very reactive to dogs he does not know but has been doing well with our current dog. Milo will be 2 years old in April. He deserves more attention than we are able to give him. We recently moved into full time job roles with extra responsibilities. He needs the ability to be outside more often than we can take him out and he needs someone who can work with him on crate training if he is to be indoors. He would be perfect for someone who has an active lifestyle and can devote their energy for Milo to be their best friend. Milo is mostly golden retriever and Australian shepherd. However, he does have a small percentage of pit bull and terrier in him.

Story
Cherry is a fuzzy bundle of puppy! She is very sweet and affectionate, bouncy and goofy, and immediately friendly with everybody she meets! Do be aware, however, that she is basically a gangly puppy, and that the uncertainty her life has unfortuantely had has seemingly left her without all the good training a dog her age should have. She`s eager to learn, however, and all she needs is someone willing to put in a little work to help her with potty training and leash training so she can catch up to her doggy milestones! Come get this dog before she`s gone!
